Big names DeMarcus Milliner and Jarrick Williams could compete for jobs in the secondary, and C.J. Mosley is a highly regarded linebacker.

There weren’t many. Five-star defensive back Keenan Allen backed out of his commitment earlier in the week as the only defection. Every other committed player signed by midmorning — taking all intrigue out of the rest of the day.

There were four offensive linemen signees after two big names (Shon Coleman and James Stone) went with rivals Auburn and Tennessee Wednesday. But Saban didn’t sound disappointed in the group he landed.

Of the incoming class, 11 are already in Tuscaloosa, the most early enrollees Saban has had. … Kicker Cade Foster was one of those already at Alabama, so his school had a cardboard cutout of the player at the table where teammates signed paperwork. Foster’s parents even posed for pictures with the likeness of their son.

Player Hometown (high school) Pos. Ht. Wt.

Alfy Hill Shallotte, N.C. (West Brunswick) LB 6-4 245

Speed rusher could add depth and earn playing time at defensive end.

DeMarcus Milliner Millbrook, Ala. (Stanhope Elmore) DB 6-1 180

One of 11 already enrolled, Milliner already is working through the Tide’s massive playbook and hopes “to be on top” of the depth chart by fall.

Cade Foster Southlake, Texas (Southlake Carroll) PK 6-1 213

With the loss of Lou Groza Award finalist Leigh Tiffin and not much backing him up, Foster’s strong leg could be making the tour of SEC stadiums this fall.
